On computers that have been connected by a network, restrictions are always put: from launching social networking sites to the ability to use hotkeys. Typically, such restrictions are imposed in offices, computer clubs and other institutions where work safety policies are welcome. For example, by completely closing access to the Start menu, it will not be difficult to launch Explorer if you know the hotkeys associated with the Windows button.

Instructions
Step 1
Most 101-key keyboards now have additional Windows logo keys. On the keyboards of a stationary computer, there are 2 of them (left and right), and the keyboard of mobile devices contains only one (left) key. Above was mentioned an example of launching "Windows Explorer". Using the "Win" key, you can make this action much faster (Win + E). For example, some combinations of useful key combinations: - Win + R - Start menu - Run;
- Win + D - minimize all windows;
- Win + L - a welcome window will appear;
- Win + Pause - "System Properties".
Step 2
The secondary reason for disabling this key is interference when typing. In order to disable the Windows key for the current user, you need to open a text editor and create a new document. In the body of this document, place the following lines:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlKeyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map" = REG_BINARY: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 5B E0 00 00 5C E0 00 00 00 00
Step 3
After that, click the menu "File" - "Save As" - give a name to the file "Disable_Win_key.reg" - click "Save". After that, run the file - in the dialog box, click "Yes".
